I took a serious look at my own state.

Chen Xuan breathed a long breath and took several deep breaths in a row.

After closing his eyes, he can actively close his perception, and his surroundings suddenly become quiet.

The mental power of a third-order silver-level caster can reach 55 meters ~ 100 meters out of body.

Compared with the second-order bronze class, the maximum range of 20 meters is a considerable improvement.

Within the scope of what his spiritual power can cover, he can perceive and lock everything in every detail.

It can also turn mental power into substance at the right time to attack or interfere with the enemy.

The spiritual power of materialization is similar to the power of mind, which can be regarded as a manifestation of the use of spiritual will to influence reality.

It is said that the Spiritual Power Meditation Method, like the Demon Element Cultivation Method, will usher in a qualitative change at the fourth order and obtain a relatively large improvement.

In addition to the range change, the multiplier of the supersensory vision has also changed from 0.7 to 0.5, and the enemy's movements during battle are in a "half-frame" state for him, and they will become extremely sluggish.

At the same time, the visual zoom and perception enhancement have also been significantly improved.

These are all "by-products" of the increase in the level of spiritual power meditation.

For Chen Xuan, what he values is magic learning after the threshold is broken.

A caster who doesn't have much magic is the same as a tiger with bad teeth.

In other words, magic is the core factor of the caster's combat effectiveness.

However, different levels of magic require the support of corresponding spiritual power meditation cultivation.

For a guy like Chen Xuan, who has mastered the elemental sensing talent of all systems and can cultivate all kinds of magic without restrictions, the benefits of learning as much magic as possible have long exceeded the simple improvement of the cultivation level.

At this time, he became a third-order spellcaster, and he could already learn all kinds of magic at the third order and below.

He had already made arrangements for this.

The mage towers in each place have a collection of magic books for each department.

It can be used by active caster members to study and learn based on their contributions.

Chen Xuan, who is a guide to these magic books, can now directly prostitute for nothing.

After completing his cultivation goal ahead of schedule, he estimated that there were still three or four minutes left in the outside world, so he stopped practicing, but took out the futon from the storage compartment, lay down comfortably, and soon fell asleep.

Although the method of connecting the practice of magic essence with the meditation method of spiritual power can be called "perpetual motion" practice, in fact, if you do not sleep for a long time, the deep fatigue cannot be relieved.

Especially in long-term repetitive cultivation, the boring process will bring spiritual pollution.

Sleep is the equivalent of a process restart, emptying out redundant mental garbage.

Outside the realm of [Time Slowing Down], Angela Lauder watched Chen Xuan take out the quilt cover at 1,200 times the fast-forward speed, and then tossed and turned over in his sleep.

It wasn't until three or four minutes later that the water clock was completely dripping, and the rippling gray light mask slowly cracked.

The internal and external time flow rates return to a synchronized state.

It represents the end of this round of [Time Walking].

When the mask disappears completely, the difference between inside and outside becomes apparent.

I saw that within the area covered by the [Time Slow Walking] realm, except for the area where Chen Xuan was active, a thin layer of dust fell visibly from other places.

Chen Xuan stretched and put away the futon.

Then he touched his flat stomach, took out a few protein energy bars, bit open the bag and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.

Angela hurriedly got up to meet her, and as soon as she got a few steps closer, she froze in place.

Because she vaguely sensed the changes that had occurred in Chen Xuan's body.

"You..."

She muttered.

Although she had been mentally prepared for the magic of the law of time, after witnessing it with her own eyes, the shock could not be concealed.

Affected by the difference in the flow rate of time, Chen Xuan used 1,200 water clock hours to cultivate, and the harvest was condensed into one water clock hour for Angela, who was in the outside world.

"Is the outside world okay during this time?"

Chen Xuan didn't speak, still chewing on the protein bar, but his words could appear directly in Angela's thoughts.

This is the ability to transmit the sound of mental power that is standard for third-order spellcasters.

"You really broke through!"

Angela calmed down a little and immediately responded with mental power.

She had already seen that Chen Xuan could not only cultivate both demons and martial arts, but also that both talents were at the top level.

Chen Xuan nodded, his heart was not shocked.

Immediately afterwards, Angela hurriedly handed over the letter from Baron Bezos to him.

After receiving this text message written on vellum paper, Chen Xuan glanced at it a few times, and his expression became strange.

"There is a suspected demon dragon in the north of the city?"

He looked up at Angela.

Facing his rhetorical question, Angela nodded solemnly.

"Not long ago, there was a loud roar outside the city, and after the research and judgment of the university scholar Ina Oji, it was preliminarily concluded that it was the roar of the demon dragon!"

"The Demon Dragon is known as the 'Earth Cataclysm', and it has a strength that is far superior to that of ordinary monsters!"

"If there really is a demon dragon outside the city that is in peak condition, then any defense line built by Magtan City will be vulnerable in front of it!"

Chen Xuan bowed his head lightly and did not answer again.

He didn't care about the dragon itself, but in the direction of the north of the city.

Speaking of which, the dragon should also be related to Ansetus.

Combined with the fact that the Misty Canyon in the north had taken the lead in raising the Pillar of Ritual Light, it was not difficult for Chen Xuan to guess that it was the key to the outbreak of the regional demon calamity.

It's just that the appearance of the magic dragon has made the situation more difficult.

From Angela's secretive look when she mentioned the demon dragon, she knew that it was definitely not easy to mess with.

Otherwise, there would be no such bluffing name as "Earth Cataclysm".

Originally, it was not too easy for Magdam City to resist the impact of monsters, but now there is an extra demon dragon, which makes the situation even worse.

Fortunately, this news was not made public, only circulated in the circles of the municipal management.

Due to limited knowledge, and the fact that dragons rarely appear on the continent of Naroa, the vast majority of people are unable to determine the origin from distant roars.

Just when some terrible beast appeared.

Among the monsters are many huge demon descendants, and on the fronts of those continents, huge skeletons comparable to epic spectacles can often be seen.

Including the "Demon Bone" fortress in the Target Empire that Chen Xuan had heard of before.

One of the castle towers was made of the bones of some kind of high-level monster with the bones of many monsters.

"Let Old Master Inagio come to see me at the Mage's Tower."

"Just one hour later."

"I'll have to go on my retreat and study the magic books in the Mage Tower's collection."

Chen Xuan waved his right hand.

There was a spatial storage ring that Angela had given him before entering the tower.

It houses the Magic Book, the Library, and the Guild's collection.

It was also the goal that he needed to study and learn next.

After hearing the news of the Demon Dragon, Chen Xuan has always been very calm, and his mentality has not been affected by the appearance of the Demon Dragon.

For this kind of thing that has already been done, Chen Xuan has always been very open-minded.

Whether you're in a hurry or not, the dragons are all there, so it's better to do what needs to be done as planned!

However, this light and breezy answer seemed to Angela to be a manifestation of incomprehensibility.

Dihua's thinking made her start to make up her brain, guessing if her "cheap" master was sure that she could deal with the demon dragon.

As everyone knows, Chen Xuan has no concept of the specific strength of the Demon Dragon at all.

Magdam City's protective magic array has been reinforced many times over the years.

It can completely resist many high-level attacks, even if the demon dragon invades, he can buy a certain amount of reaction time, and if he really can't resist at that time, he can calmly run away with his men.

Twisting his neck, Chen Xuan returned to his original position, ready to start another round of [Time Slow Walking].

Suddenly, he remembered something, and hurriedly used his spiritual power to transmit the sound and called Angela, who was about to go downstairs.

"That's right, Angela."

"Let Baron Bezos bring his family heirloom dragon steel sword!"

After receiving the transmission, Angela stopped, stood at the top of the stairs and saluted him to his chest, signaling that he understood.

Then he hurried downstairs under his gaze.

Previously, Chen Xuan had seen the Dragon Steel Sword in the castle.

He remembered the details mentioned in the message from Insight's note:

[The Dragon Steel Sword can cause additional damage to the scale armor of dragons and dragonborn creatures, which can counteract the suppression of dragon power to a certain extent]

At that time, Chen Xuan was not interested in this, because the dragon seed was not a ubiquitous Chinese cabbage.

Unlike stinky fish and shrimp like goblins, dragons are definitely "cherished" animals in Naroa.

Whether it is a native true dragon or an alien demon dragon, there are few records.

Most of the stories of dragons are circulated in the form of various legends and fairy tales.

It all comes down to the fact that Magdam is a small place.

The cognitive gradient here is far less than that of the giant city.

Even Chen Xuan himself was bound in such a framework.

Let's not talk about whether he can beat the Demon Dragon, since there is a [Dragon Steel Sword] in the city, which is a highly targeted weapon, then it is necessary for Chen Xuan to get his hands on it first.

Seeing Angela leave, he began to recharge the magic core for the Gathering Magic Circle.

After more than a year of overload operation, the surface of this third-order magic gathering array had obvious cracks.

On the originally neat array plate, cracks were staggered and crisscrossed.

When it's completely shattered, it's time for complete scrapping.

After refilling the magic core, Chen Xuan opened the second round of [Time Slow].

A gray mask appeared, isolating the inside and outside of the field.

He took out a cushion from the storage compartment, sat down cross-legged, and took out a tome and flipped through it.

On the cover, there are a few big gilded characters written in the lingua franca -

- The General Theory of Naroa Magic

In this round of [Time Slow], his task is to read, read, and read again!

……

To the east of the city of Magtan, the straight road extends two hundred kilometers away.

This is the boundary of the Dark Mandala Light Curtain.

On the side that was not blocked by the light curtain, most of the merchants who had been blocked on the straight had left.

The news of the accident had also been transmitted back to the giant city through the Vanguard Dragon Eagle Squad.

At this time, on this slightly lonely straight road, a slender figure wearing a masked scarf, a hat, and a sleeveless light armor strolled over.

Judging by the curves of her body, this should be a woman.

She has black eyes and black hair, and she wears a straight knife about 60 centimeters on her right side, an arc-shaped long knife with a length of about 1.2 meters hanging diagonally on her left side, and a naginata knife with a length of nearly 2 meters behind her.

Behind her was like a banner that was placed diagonally.

Her expression was extremely indifferent, and she stopped looking at the dark mandala light curtain in front of her.

A light breeze blew in from afar, ruffling her black hair from the bottom of her hat.

"I'm here to take you home..."

After a moment's pause, she continued on her way to the light curtain.

The deep dark eyes slowly narrowed, and in the next moment, only an afterimage with a blue-purple light appeared.

In an instant, she drew the short knife on her right side, wrapped in the magic element, and slashed towards the light curtain.

When she retracted her knife, the mandala light curtain was cut through a gap for only one person to pass through.

Without hesitation, she leapt through the gap and into the area shrouded in the curtain of light.

Within more than ten seconds of her departure, the gap in the light curtain automatically closed.

And the lonely and lonely figure also disappeared at the end of the darkness.

……

"I see."

Chen Xuan held the book in his hand, and a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.

There was a mountain of ancient books around him.

For the past nearly 500 hours, he has been reading without sleep or food.

In addition to reading various books on magic and spiritual meditation, he also read a lot of miscellaneous books similar to the Naroa Grand View.

It further fills the gap in the understanding of the world.

Due to the age of many books, many of the things recorded in the collection have long been unverifiable.

However, Chen Xuan combined the clues he found from the cave sacrifices, and found a lot of useful information.

Including the Oni Attendant Sect that worships the moon and calls it the Moon Mother, as well as several theoretical studies on the phases of the moon, all of which opened Chen Xuan's eyes.

It mentions the phase of the moon, which is called the Silver Moon Shine in the Sky.

When this phase of the moon appears, the two moons representing the Demon Descendants will sink into the sky, and there will be only one silver moon shining in the entire night sky, shining brightly on the earth.

The appearance of this moon phase indicates that the demonic calamity is about to enter a low period.

The power of a certain guardian will rise to its peak, and the number of monsters gushing out every day will be greatly reduced in the Void Teleportation Passages in the various monster caves or battle lines.

The theory of the phases of the moon proves that the Naroa natives traced and studied the outbreak of the demonic plague.

It's just that due to regional factors and the background of multi-ethnic integration.

In addition, the moon phase has a long cycle, often not once every tens or hundreds of Naroa years, and most of the non-immortal Naroa natives will forget it during such a long interval.

Only the church, the scholars, and the casters who delve into the truth will remember these things.

Just like the modern society of Blue Star, not many people will remember the natural disasters of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the moon phase, Chen Xuan also has a preliminary understanding of Naroa's customs, multi-ethnic cultural background, and historical evolution.

This round of reading can be said to have benefited him a lot, and the whole person's horizons have broadened a lot!

……

The foreshadowing of this mysterious woman has actually been mentioned for a long time, and I don't know if anyone knows.
